I don’t find myself in much of a celebratory mood today. More pensive. I’m thinking of what a wonderful country this is, how very much we’ve succeeded in over the years, and what we’ve failed in. And I’m reminded of Winston Churchill’s comment: “Success is the ability to go from failure to failure without losing your enthusiasm”.
Here are some of my posts from previous Fourths:
July 4, 2005: “Thomas Jefferson survives!â€
Photo-blogging the Fourth: the Sauganash Parade, 2005
In this post, one of my earliest and, I think, one of my best, I reflect on our national anthems.
